da Vinci Graphic Design Series 2485 - Dusting Brush - Soft White Goat Hair with Lacquered Wood Handle

Great brush. Great price/value. Firm bristles yet soft touch. Doesn’t lose bristles. Better for dusting eraser debris on watercolor and colored pencils art. Better than the traditional, longer architect’s brush. I keep it hanging right at hand at all times. Gonna buy another.

I've been using da Vinci dusting brushes for years, and I find this soft goat hair version to be amazing for use when making pencil illustrations on lightly textured drawing paper. A gentle swipe will clear most dust and eraser bits, while a little bit of a harder press will get rid of all but the most stubborn shavings. It helps tremendously in keeping the side of my hand clean. They do shed a little bit at first, but that's not an issue in my application. They can also be cleaned - use warm (not hot) water and a gentle liquid castile soap (such as Dr. Bronner's), then thoroughly air dry. After a couple of years of use with illustrations and a more vigorous cleaning, these brushes get retired to become excellent electronics dusting brushes. They're soft enough to get in every nook and cranny of a keyboard and take dust off broad surfaces with a single pass.

It s a very good dust brush (goat hair) I use it for my watercolor sketches and in calligraphy guides too.

daVinci brushes are the best. Having worked at an art supply store WAYYYYY back in the day, it's nice to see that they have retained their highly esteemed quality.So, I bought mine for household use - both the horse and the goat hair brushes. They're both amazing brushes. Smaller than I was expecting initially but I use them on the daily, multiple times a day. The horse hair is definitely firmer with less give. I use mine around my coffee station to wipe grounds etc. They don't shed and pick up everything. Highly recommended, exceptional quality.

Skeptical buying this but for a small bench brush, it is my go-to for all delicate items or finishes you wish to clean. Dust I mean ALL dust clings and safely is removed. I bought to dust wood pieces prior to applying varnish in my woodwork shop. Outstanding! Amazing- old school methods and materials win again in 2022.

I use this brush for photography framing and it’s excellent; small enough to fit in my palm with super-soft bristles that remove any stray debris or dust particles. The brush itself is terrific and performs perfectly for its intended purpose.However, it comes shipped in a trace-paper thin, plastic wrapper, which can cause the bristles to arrive misshapen and frazzled (think a paint brush when you wash it a couple days too late); I had to return the first one because it looked like hair of a mad professor. The replacement was better but it too had a small section of crazy; I wrapped it tightly in bubble wrap, left it for 48 hrs. and all the bristles fell into place.Pro tip — store the brush by hanging it upside down by a zip-tie to keep the bristles perfect when not in use.Overall, I recommend, but wish that the shipping process provided more care & quality control.

I bought this for my workshop/craft room to clean off dust and messes. Its an amazing little cleaning brush. If you need a little all purpose, gentle brush, I highly encourage you to consider this one! Its so good, when my ex ran off with half the house, she took my brush too, haha (your bit of gallows humor for the day)

This is a fine tool for the drawing table. The size of the brush and texture of the bristles are just right for dusting eraser shavings from your drawings.

Being a leftie, smearing pencil lines can be a bit of an occupational hazard anyway, and trying to dust off those annoying eraser crumbs was just making matters worse. Who knew I needed a special brush that would at least put an end to the latter frustration? Does the job perfectly and very pleased with my purchase. Thank you!

las cerdas son bastante suaves, perfectas para quitar los residuos de goma o grafito o carboncillo en los trabajos artisticos

De buen tamaño, de pelo suave, mango de madera. Ideal para limpiar áreas de trabajo de dibujo sin maltratar el papel.

The item is as sold, "a dusting brush." All of the others I looked at are much the same in construction, the "Da Vinci" is at the lower end ofthe cost range. The bristles of this one are soft and so far, there has been no hair loss. I bought mine to replace a 4inch paint brush that I had been using. That item tended to spread the pencil media over the medium surface, whereas this brush does not seem to do so. I find the handle a little inconvenient to work with and would rather that the grip was situated above the bristles but this and similar items are all of a "traditional" construction. The item is not in regular use but I am very satisfied with the purchase so far and now wish that I had bought it earlier.

This is an excellent bit of kit. Up until now I've been using a large goat hair mop as a dusting brush but this is far easier to use. It is also very effective at removing eraser crumbs without smearing graphite across the work. If your process involves lots of erasing this is really worth getting. (I find using a brush lessens the possibility of absent mindedly using a hand to flick away dust and getting finger-marks on the paper which can later ruin even pencil-shading.)The size of the brush is not as shown but 22 cm long by 2.2 cm at the widest part, tapering to a narrower handle.This brush is well-made and very good value at the same size but half the price of the Faber Castell one.
